Vitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient that is needed for more bodily processes than you probably realised.
Many of its deficiency signs match those of the menopausal transition so it’s important to determine if your symptoms are deficiency-related or not.
Here are the main signs and symptoms of B12 deficiencies that show up at this stage of life:
Tiredness and fatigue
Difficulty thinking or memory issues
Low moods such as apathy, depression, or irritability
Digestive complaints
Issues staying asleep
Feeling like your heart is racing and pounding
Other common complaints include
Numbness, tingling, or other altered nerve like sensations in your body such as burning feet
Clumsiness, balance, or gait problems
Development of tremors
Vision changes
Feeling light-headed, weak, or dizzy
Feeling short of breath
Having an inflamed red tongue
Loss of appetite

A routine blood test will show any deficency.
